Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge # 596

Hi everyone.  Another week has flown by with so much on the go.  I'm delighted to say I managed to squeak in some cardmaking time, and have a couple of cards to share with you.  The first card is for the Atlantic Heart Sketch Challenge #596 which closed on Sunday September 29th.  Here is their sketch: 


HERE'S MY CARD: 


This sketch gave me an opportunity to show off the Nests of Winter designer paper I recently purchased from Stampin' Up!  This  beautiful sketch allowed me  to mix and match the papers and create a small scene with virtually no stamping  except for the sentiments. This 12 x 12 paper is part of the Nests of Winter Suite Collection on pages 30 and 31 in the 2024 Holiday Mini Catalogue.  


I love the detailed images of the birds and the subtle natural tones, which make it ideal not only for Christmas cards but those other winter time celebrations.  


Stampin' Up! Supplies Used: 

Stamp Sets and Dies: 

  • Something Fancy #160416 for "Happy Birthday" sentiment for card front.  Die cut for sentiment.
  • Frosted Forest #164344 for sentiment inside the card.  Tree Die cut in black and pecan pie for card front. 
Cardstock and Designer Paper: 
  • 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" Whisper White for card base and scrap for sentiment.  3 7/8" x 5 1/8" piece for inside mat
  • 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" Pecan Pie for card front base mat; 2 1/8" x 4 1/8" Pecan Pie mat for Pool Party DSP strip; 1 5/8" x 4 1/8" Pecan Pie Piece for Birch Tree DSP strip. A scrap for the Tree Die Cut in Pecan Pie.

Here are a couple of birthday cards I made using the same papers.  The images were so easy to fussy cut that I didn't purchase the stamp set or dies that coordinate with it.
